In Formula 1 the numbers never lie; whether it\u2019s zeros on a paycheck, thousandths of a second on a stopwatch, or points of downforce on a new front wing.<\/p>\n
At the halfway stage of the 2025 F1 season, the points table for drivers and constructors tell their own story. McLaren<\/a> is well ahead in both; Ferrari<\/a>, Mercedes<\/a> and Red Bull trail badly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n But by looking at the underlying numbers we can spot trends and learn more about what\u2019s really going on this season and what might happen in the second half.<\/p>\n We did this at the quarter stage and now at we look again, after 12 rounds in this 24 race F1 world championship.<\/p>\n Joining James Allen is special guest Dan Fallows – one of the top F1 engineers of the last two decades, who headed up the Red Bull aero department from the Sebastian Vettel<\/a> era up to the first ground effect car in 2022 and was most recently Technical Director of Aston Martin.<\/p>\n Also joining is F1 data guru Rob Smedley, of Smedley Group, and Autosport\u2019s Jake Boxall-Legge.<\/p>\n To view the highlights of the Global F1 Fan Survey and to download the Whitepaper, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n In this article<\/p>\n Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics<\/p>\n Subscribe to news alerts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Formula 1 the numbers never lie; whether it\u2019s zeros on a paycheck, thousandths of a second on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[2968,2969,1687,372,6537,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-18334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-f1","tag-belgian-gp","tag-circuit-de-spa-francorchamps","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
